Candlelight Run

This past weekend was Father's Day and we were so blessed to be able to spend it with our dad!!:) I LOVE my dad and am so thankful for him!!:) Not only did we get to spend Father's Day with him, but we were also able to do something we have never done before...run a 5k together. Several months ago we decided with Daddy that we would do one together, and we are very glad we did. We had A LOT of fun, although the course was VERY, VERY hard!!:) I estimate that at least 1/2 of it was uphill. My dad just started training about 6 weeks ago and he has been running in Wilson where it is very flat. He did great considering it was 90 degrees and uphill!!:) Good job, Daddy...thanks for doing this with us...we had a great time and we love you very much!!:)
